Shifting to Equity Paybacks

A New Conversation at the Vanguard of Public Discourse

Do we have the right economy?

I see the economy we have today as being:

financed for GROWTH

through Asset Ownership financing Corporate Power through Profit Extraction from Growth and volatility in the market clearing prices for securities in the markets for maintaining volatility and growth in market clearing prices for those securities solely in the financial best interests of securities trading markets professionals, in reliance on the axiomatic assertion that more money in the securities trading markets (higher fees and profits for securities trading market professionals) will always also mean a better quality of life for us all

measured for GROWTH

GDP, 401(k), jobs, inflation, interest rates, etc.

managed for GROWTH

I see the economy we need today as being:

financed for PEACE

Institutions of Finance are constituted by society with authority to determine, predistributively, upstream from the stream of commerce, which choices will be made available. to popular choice, and who within the population will have the ability to pay the price to make those choices.

We need Finance to be financing patterns of availability and ability to pay that support social cohesion through technological suitability, habitat longevity and social equity on a planetary scale and within planetary limits.

measured for PEACE

We need Rubrics, more than Metrics: rules for connecting what businesses do business, and how those businesses do business, with the security and dignity of technology suitability, habitat longevity and social equity sufficient to sustain social cohesion on a planetary scale and within planetary limits.

managed for PEACE

Once Finance properly finances Enterprise for social cohesion, then business will be chosen and conducted for the Peace of security and dignity through technological suitability, habitat longevity and social equity sufficient to sustain social cohesion on a planetary scale and within planetary limits.

“The rights and needs of the general population, of consumers and wider society, need to be attached to 
the economy through non-shareholder purposed entities, 
financed by other than privately self-interested capital.”

A New Story

A New Story of a Human-Centered, Money-Powered, Socially-Curated, Adaptively Evolving Economy of Caring for the Consequences, Accountable for Individual and Shared Human Being and Wellbeing on a Planetary Scale, within Planetary Limits, to the Common Sense of What Makes Sense to a New 21st Century Planetary Citizenry in a New 21st Century Planetary Commons,.

THIS is a fiduciary story that is made possible by shifting fiduciary stewards of Pensions & Endowments into the new math of Equity Paybacks, setting them free from Asset Ownership financing Corporate Power thriough the financial mathematics of Profit Extraction from Growth in Selling Price, to curate through Fiduciary Finance the right businesses for curating the right technologies for curating the right choices for curating the right economy for curating the right society for curating the right future as our true frontier.

Join the journey,by talking about the crises,
their origins and their resolutions.

 what kind of world 
             do we want 
      and how

THIS is the world we want

THIS is how we can make it happen

allocating Fiduciary Money through Equity Paybacks from current cash flows through Enterprise, prioritized by contract for:

  • Suitability of the Technology to the circumstances prevailing at the time;
  • Duration of the social contract between Enterprise and popular choice over time; and
  • Dignity in how the business does business all the time, across all six vectors of cash flow through Enterprise, including:
    • Fair Trade, with suppliers;
    • Fair Engagement with communities, of place and of interest;
    • Fair Reckoning with the consequences, on Nature, Society and the Future;
    • Fair Working, in the workplace;
    • Fair Dealing, in the marketplace;
    • Fair Sharing, with savers whose savings are the “raw material” form which financiers fashion capital for business.
